Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries are causing fuel shortages across over 25 regions, including Moscow and St. Petersburg. Restrictions are now in place at filling stations, and limitations on jet fuel are being reported. The agricultural sector is also affected, with farmers facing a diesel shortfall. The disruptions indicate a growing impact from Ukraine’s campaign targeting Russia’s energy infrastructure. These shortages represent a significant logistical challenge for Russia, potentially impacting both civilian and military operations. The extent and duration of the fuel crisis remain uncertain, but the situation is escalating beyond previously affected areas. Experts suggest the strikes are aimed at degrading Russia’s ability to sustain its war effort.
